Telefónica Móviles Introduces BlackBerry Connect In Spain

Madrid, Spain and Waterloo, Ontario - Telefónica Móviles España (TME), a subsidiary of the Telefónica Móviles Group, and Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) are introducing BlackBerry Connect™ in Spain and Telefonica Moviles announced that it is offering BlackBerry® services for the Nokia 6820 effective immediately. Telefonica Moviles was the first carrier in Spain to introduce BlackBerry, launching in 2003 with the BlackBerry 6720™ and later with the BlackBerry 7230™.

Through RIM’s BlackBerry Connect™ licensing program, BlackBerry connectivity support can be embedded within mobile phones and other wireless devices to provide users with push-based, wireless email services. Both BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ and BlackBerry Internet Service™ are supported.

“Wireless email features and services are becoming increasingly important considerations for businesses and users in the selection of mobile devices,” said Jim Balsillie, Chairman and Co-CEO, Research In Motion. “Our BlackBerry Connect licensing program has opened the industry-leading BlackBerry services to a wider range of mobile devices and we are very pleased to see Telefónica expand its portfolio of BlackBerry solutions for customers in Spain. We believe that Telefonica's mobile users will highly value the push-based BlackBerry experience while IT departments will welcome the advanced mobile architecture and integration with BlackBerry Enterprise Server.”

“It is important for our customers in Spain to have a choice of devices compatible with BlackBerry services,” said Luis Ezcurra, General Manager of Services Depelompent in Telefónica Móviles España. “BlackBerry Connect is the right solution that allows us to expand our offer of devices compatible with BlackBerry services. Our first step with this program is the Nokia 6820 handset, which offers all the advantages of a multimedia GSM/GPRS mobile phone together with BlackBerry wireless email. Telefonica Móviles customers can now choose between two different devices when subscribing to BlackBerry services: the BlackBerry 7230 wireless handheld or the Nokia 6820 mobile phone. We really believe that offering a more flexible choice of devices supporting BlackBerry services will lead to more BlackBerry subscribers overall.”

“Nokia works in cooperation with leading companies such as Research In Motion to bring mobile solutions to the market,” said Marko Luhtala, Sales Director at Nokia Enterprise Solutions. “By enabling the Nokia 6820 with BlackBerry email connectivity, we provide customers a broader choice of devices that best suit their workstyle or lifestyle.”

For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with Microsoft® Exchange or IBM Lotus® Domino™ (Novell GroupWise support is expected to be available later this year) to enable secure, push-based, wireless access to email and calendar.

For individuals and smaller businesses, BlackBerry Internet Service allows users to access multiple personal and/or corporate email accounts (including many popular ISP email accounts as well as Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino accounts) from a single device.
